Video: Handheld Coagulation Analyzer for Point-of-care Testing

A research and training hospital, Fernando Fonseca Hospital is part of the Portuguese National Health Service. It serves about 600,000 citizens in the high density population areas of Amadora and Sintra. About 100 anticoagulant therapy patients a day receive care.

What if a POC coagulation analyzer could improve your process?

“We will surely continue using the Xprecia system because this is a fast and easy-to-use device and a less invasive process for the patient because it only needs a finger stick.”

Dr. Luisa Sancho, Director of the Laboratory

"In terms of speed, there is a clear improvement. The result is almost automatic, taking only a few seconds. So it has largely improved [our process] when compared to the traditional method.”

Dr. Alexandra Santos, Physician in the Department of Hematology

What if your POC coagulation analyzer had intuitive software?

“From the operating point of view, Xprecia Stride is a handy, simple device. It is very easy to use and has an intuitive software. This is particularly important because it reduces significantly both collection and response times, making the work routine easier.”

Ana Martins, Laboratory Technician

What if you could reduce an anticoagulant therapy patient’s visit from 3 hours to 30 minutes?
